Abby Wambach, the 36-year-old retired U.S. soccer star who helped her team win the 2015 FIFA Women's World Cup, has gotten engaged, the couple announced over the weekend on social media.

Wambach and Christian mom blogger Glennon Doyle Melton went public with their relationship late last year.

Melton, creator of the Momastery website and author of memoir "Love Warrior," came out last November, saying on Facebook she was in a relationship with Wambach.

"I'm going to share with you my new love," Melton wrote. "Her name is Abby. You might recognize her from soccer. She was one of the best players of all time, and she has been a fierce and committed advocate for women's equality for a decade. And honestly? Those are the least impressive things about her."

Melton's surprise post came three months after she revealed she had split from her husband of 14 years, Craig Melton, with whom she shares two daughters and a son.

Two months prior to Melton's post, Wambach announced she and wife Sarah Huffman were set to divorce.

"I found myself when I met you @glennondoylemelton," Wambach wrote on Instagram on Valentine's Day. "The end. I love you!
